It is known to provide hand washing stations, such as in washrooms, where a faucet distributes water into a sink and soap dispensers are provided proximate the sink to dispense soap. Such soap dispensers may be mounted on a wall adjacent the sink or be mounted at the sink's side as on a countertop carrying the sink. Some sink side soap dispensers are manually operated and others are automatically operated as with sensors such that they dispense soap automatically in a touchless manner on the sensor sensing the presence of a user's hand proximate the soap dispenser and dispensing soap by activation of an automatic soap pump.
While soap dispensers are known which dispense soap, previously known automatic soap dispensers, particularly sink side soap dispensers, do not provide an arrangement for touchless dispensing of foamed soap at sink side locations.
